Davis not wanted as ‘bait’ for Yak

Earlier reports from today were suggesting Pompey had offered Boro a ‘cash plus player’ deal for Yakubu. This player was said to be Gary O’Neil, although it is also thought it could have been Sean Davis?

Either way The News is reporting that Boro are not interested in signing Davis, this is despite plenty of talk that they did – but what the papers say and what is actually true are not often one in the same are they!

One or more strikers still – as we keep saying – remain Harry Redknapp’s priority with Jermain Defoe and Yakubu top of the list of players Redknapp would ‘love to have at Fratton Park’.

Some reports today suggest that Defoe will be sold if he does not sign the new 3-year deal offered to him by Spurs, but it would take £12million to sign him – but him he has already ‘ruled out’ a move to Pompey.

As always I say remain patient ‘arry will get his man, or men. We still have plenty of time to go before the season starts – and indeed the transfer window closes – so there will be plenty more column inches taken up with rumoured targets before we finally get our man or men!
